Generosity

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has made this religion purely for Himself, and nothing befits your religion except generosity and good character. Beware! Adorn your religion with these two."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Amr bin al-Husayn al-Uqayli, and he is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The generous person is close to Allah Almighty, far from Hell and close to Paradise. The miser is far from Allah Almighty, far from Paradise, far from people and close to Hell. And an ignorant generous person is more beloved to Allah Almighty than a miserly worshipper."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Sa'id bin Muhammad al-Warraq, and he is da'if (weak).

Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In Paradise there is a house named 'the House of Generosity'."

(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: I have not found anyone who has given an account of him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is a chief?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Yusuf, son of Sayyiduna Ya'qub, son of Sayyiduna Ishaq, son of Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon them)." The people said: "Who will be a chief in your Ummah?" He said: "Yes. The man who has been given lawful wealth and been granted magnanimity, who keeps the poor close, and about whom people's complaints are few."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Nafi' Abu Hurmuz, and he is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Qays bin Sal' al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: His brothers complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "He squanders his wealth and spends it lavishly." I said: "I spend my share of the fruit; I spend it in the way of Allah and on my companions." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his chest and said: "Spend, and Allah Almighty will spend on you." He said this three times. The narrator says: After that I went out to fight in the way of Allah, and I had only one mount. He says: Today I am the eldest of my household and the most well-off of them.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. He said: Sa'id bin Ziyad Abu Asim is alone in narrating it. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: I have not found anyone who has given an account of him.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah al-Salami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the quarter of Banu Amr bin Awf on a Wednesday. He saw a large building among the people's lands and properties which he had not seen before. He said to them: "O company of the Ansar!" The people said: "At your service, O Messenger of Allah! May our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It would be good if, when you come for your Eid, you stayed until you hear what I have to say." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant doing so on Friday. The people said: "Very well, O Messenger of Allah! May our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." When Friday came, they joined the prayer behind him. When he had completed the prayer, he offered two voluntary rak'ahs right in his place. Before that, after praying the Friday prayer he used to go home and offer those two rak'ahs in his house, but that day he offered those two voluntary rak'ahs in the mosque. When he finished praying, he turned his face towards the people. The Ansar had come into the mosque; they had come to the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "O company of the Ansar!" The people said: "At your service, O Messenger of Allah! May our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the Days of Ignorance you did not worship Allah Almighty, yet with your wealth you bore much of the burden of the afflicted, did good deeds and maintained ties of kinship, until Allah Almighty favoured you with Islam and with Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and now you have started building high houses and forts. Whatever a human being eats, there is a reward for it; whatever a bird eats and whatever a beast of prey eats, there is a reward for it." The people went back, and every one of them knocked down the structure on his land. The narrator says: What this means is that they knocked down the walls they had built around their orchards so that people could go in and eat the fruit there.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Al-Bazzar recorded a similar report and added these words: "He used to visit the sick, attend funerals, and when he was invited he would accept." The narrator states: This report is transmitted from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Its chain contains a group of narrators whom I do not know.
